I used this shell mostly as visual, only the snare side was played however when played as a kick and snare there was much ...

I haven't been here in a long time, let's just say I've been busy hammering away live on cocktail kits.

Is there any way to retro fit this with other cables? (Pearl, Gibraltor, Tama, Bicycle line) Take a few pictures maybe we can up with an idea to help out. Farm supply stores often have Aircraft cable that can be cut to fit. UFA stores if you're around Canada.
